"New" Zodiac Sign Dates

Friday, January 14, 2011

You might have heard about this online, the news, or from people who might be complaining about their sign being changed (maybe those especially who have their zodiacs tatted to themselves). Apparently, the Earth's alignment has changed its position from the Sun which changes the positions of the constellations we see thanks to the moon's gravitational pull. Our zodiac signs were determined by which constellation the Sun was in on the day you were born.

*This supposedly were the originally dates which the Babylonians intended it to be. However, they discarded the Ophiuchus sign because they wanted 12 signs.

Ophiuchus, the unfamiliar name, is also the image shown in this post. It's Greek for "serpent-bearer".

However, this information isn't suppose to change any horoscope readings (you are still the same old zodiac sign you are). Ophiuchus is a constellation but it is NOT a sign. There are also many people that think it applies to those born after 2009, but that isn't true either.

OH, thanks for this post! I've been hearing about it, but never got around to check what the fuss is all about. Thank God, I am still Taurus - wouldn't want to become anything else. I bet people whos sign did change are feeling a little bit weird at the moment. x

I love saying I'm a Leo (which, apparently, I'm not anymore), but I've never taken horoscopes seriously at all. I can't remember the last time I read mine. It's still interesting that they've all changed though.

I will still consider myself a Scorpio. Even though I hate my color (topaz yellow -- ick), I identify with the traits too strongly to deny my Scorpio-ness. Besides, a Scorpio is how I was born, so a Scorpio is how I will die.

I just heard about it yesterday from one of my friends and it kind of upsets me a little bit. I'm a Saggitarious and I'm obssessed with my horoscope! So now, apparently I'm a Scorpio...No way! haha..yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll always be a Saggitarious. xoxoxoxoo

This whole thing is so confusing! I also heard it was only for people born after 2009, so I have no idea.According to the new dates though, I'm a Leo now, not a Virgo. But we'll just say I'm still a Virgo. Lol! :P

It is kinda funny, the sudden confusion of being 'categorized' as some other star sign! Crisis inducing. Great post too! I hardly read the news so I would have probably been clueless about this if it wasn't for you. :)

Ha ha.. when I first heard about the "13th sign" and how our signs could possibly be affected.. I was thinking there is no way my sign will change.. and of course it did... but I didn't care.. I will ALWAYS be a Leo no matter what. :)
